Testimonials

This is a family run agency who truly care. It’s staff are amazing, kind and helpful. If you are considering fostering, give them a call, they are honest and will talk to you openly about the ins and outs, the hardships and the amazing rewards. It’s the best thing I ever did.

Fostering can be extremely difficult and sometimes beyond exhausting, but always worthwhile and I’ve grown as a person as a result. I have more meaning and purpose to my life, something I’ve found an invaluable experience; I’ve proudly helped transformed the lives of young people, any child or teenager coming into my home is loved unconditionally and will not be given up on. Quite simply, I saw what was needed for a vulnerable child and delivered; I work as a team with my placements, after all we’re both on the same journey.

Fostering has enabled us to learn so much about our own lives. It has given us the opportunity to place children’s needs, feelings, wishes and beliefs before our own and consider the needs of the child primarily. It has been rewarding when we have seen young people leave our care and live independently and have a family of their own It has enabled our birth children to emphasise from a young age and enable them to be selfless and share their family and friends with other children.

For future foster carers just enjoy every day with your foster children. Small steps make a huge difference.

We have found fostering very rewarding, it hasn’t changed our life much at all. It has added another member to our family, even when our first foster child moves on next year, I know we will always be in contact.

It has enriched my life – after 2 sons it is wonderful having a daughter. Every day brings new challenges and life is never boring!
